The Technical Rescue Instruction Project is a non-profit organization offering affordable and comprehensive rescue clinics to climbers nationwide. Visit our blog to see how you can get involved: therescueproj.blogspot.com

Our courses are conceptually based on a hybrid of guiding and rope access techniques. We have a curriculum for three courses ranging from the basics of improvised ascension and descent to rescuing your partner on a traverse and bringing him/her back to the rappel route. T.R.I.P. will be a SPRAT member company, and plans to work with fire departments and SAR organizations worldwide, so this will be a good way to get your in with the rope access industry.

T.R.I.P. is in the middle of a fundraising campaign to gain funds to shoot the most comprehensive rescue footage caught on film, thousands of feet off the deck in Yosemite Valley.

Andy Bardon and Ian Cotter-Brown have committed to this project as videographers, but first we must gain the funds to shoot.

Andy is currently shooting on Everest for National Geographic, and Ian Cotter-Brown has recently started a small grassroots production company that needs work and funds to continually improve. This team will guarantee that our digital media products are of the highest quality.
